Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 23,1907. Serial No. 353,706.

To all whom t may concern: I

Be it known that I,l ISAAC WESLEY MCGLANAHAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State ofWashington7 have invented a new and useful Kitchen-Cabinet, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention has relation to combined kitchen cabinets, dining tablesand china closets and it consists in the novel construction andarrangement of its 10 parts as hereinafter" shown and described.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of the characterindicated which will occupy but small space and which may be utilized inseveralcapacities.

The cabinet consists primarily of a frame having suspended thereunder aplurality of bins7 the outer sides of which are set in from the ends ofthe cabinet in order that persons may be seated at the ends of thecabinet when the same is used as a dining table without having the sidesof the bins interfering with the knees.

A series of drawers is slidably located in the frame of the cabinet andbehind the said series of drawers is located a till for the reception ofchina dishes, etc. A top is slidably mounted upon the cabinet and abread board is slidably located against the under sides thereof. A leafis hinged to one edge of the cabinet and is adapted to be swung up andsupported by brackets at the saine horizontal level with the said top.Asection is hinged to said leaf and is adapted to be swung over upon theframe of the cabinet above the china till thereof and the edge of thetop of the cabinet may be moved into close contact with the edge of saidsection whereby a continuous table top is provided for dining purposes.I l v In the accompanying drawingz-Figure l is a per- Spective view ofthe cabinet. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the upper portion ofthe same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the upper portion of the same7and Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the upper corner of the sainecut at right angles to the view shown in Fig. 2.

The box frame l is mounted upon the legs 2. The

bins 3, 3 depend from the frame l and are arranged to slide thereunder.The outer sides of the said bins are set in as at 4 in order to provideroom for the knees at the ends of the cabinet when the same is used as adining table. The series of drawers 5 are arranged to slide in the frontof the frame l and a china till 6 is arranged within the said frame l atthe rear of the drawers 5. The ends of the frame l are provided with thehorizontally disposed beads 7. The top S is provided upon its under sidewith the guides 9 which receive the beads 7. The leaf l0 is hinged tothe frame l and is adapted to be supported in a horizontal position on alevel with the top 8 by the brackets ll. The section l2 is hinged to theleaf l0 and is adapted to be swung over the rear portion of the chinatill G into the same plane as the' leaf l0 and the top 8. The said topmay then be moved back into close contact with the edge of the sectionl2 when a dining table is provided.

.The bread board 13 is slidably located under the top 8.

From the foregoing description it is obvious that the device may be usedfor a kitchen cabinet and is provided with means for holding materialand utensils and that it may also be used for dining purposes. The partsare conveniently arranged and may be so folded as to occupy but smallspace. k

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters-Patent is:-

A cabinet comprising a frame, a top slidably mounted thereon, a leafhinged to the frame and adapted to swing into the same plane as the topor into a plane at an angle thereto, means for supporting the leaf inthe plane with the top, and a section hinged to the edge of said leafand adapted to swing over upon the frame into the plane of the top andlie between the edges of the top and the leaf.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
